Abstract
Primary congenital glaucoma usually presents as enlarged and
hazy cornea at birth or early childhood. The diagnosis is based
on a thorough clinical examination under anesthesia. Most
cases require surgical intervention as the definitive treatment.
In very rare instances, primary congenital glaucoma may arrest
and resolve spontaneously. We describe a case of spontaneously
arrested and resolved primary congenital glaucoma in a
37‑year‑old male presenting with large cornea, Haab’s striae, and
normal intraocular pressure in one eye. Such a case has not been
previously described from the Indian subcontinent.
